The esports industry in 2025 has been defined by growth and expansion.
For the first time in a while, new games, such as The Finals and Marvel Rivals, aimed to make an impact in the esports sector. Various teams and tournament organisers announced expansions into other esports titles. Moreover, major ecosystem shifts occurred across some of the industry’s biggest titles in a bid to maintain a stronghold in the sector.
Some worked, such as the implementation of Fearless Draft in League of Legends, whilst others didn’t, like the short-lived run of the LTA.
